Chapter 1205: Kong Yao Setting A Plan

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Speaking of which, this is the first time you’ve left the Cloud World...”

Kong Yao was excited but she was filled with more nervousness. She looked around curiously at Tianfang World which was totally different from the Cloud World.

Zong Shou smiled and grabbed Kong Yao’s hand. Kong Yao in the last life struggled solely for Great Shang that was on the brink of destruction. She had so much talent but was just trapped in the mid plains. Her fame was also spread about in the Cloud World.

However, in this life, she was finally able to change her stage to the outer region worlds that were billions of times larger than the Cloud World.

He too wanted to see how well she would perform.

“This battle is indeed really tough. You can also see the situation here, so are you confident in defending? If not, I can swap to another person.”

He brought Kong Yao over for this huge battle that would decide the fate of the Cloud World. Kong Yao was not only his wife but one of the most he trusted which was why Zong Shou asked directly and didn’t beat around the bush at all.

“We didn’t lose many troops. General Lieque is truly an outer region famous general. However, the world protecting Formation is largely destroyed, so it would be tough to defend and the losses will definitely increase.”

She looked around but she didn’t show much worry, asking while she was deep in thought, “What you really worry is actually the Soul Stabbing Xuan Heart Needle, right? Is it really so terrifying that you can’t solve it?”

“That isn’t the case!”

Zong Shou scoffed coldly but he still felt a headache.

In terms of disregarding spacetime laws, actually his Six God Celestial Slaying Knives could do that too.

Even 13 worlds away, if he was first to attack, he would be able to kill that person such that he wouldn’t be able to use the needle.

However, at this moment, he only had one of them, far from enough to counter the enemy.

After he merged three pages, the records could nurture five streaks of energy. The Geng Metal Energy was enough. He just needed killing energy to convert. However, that would take at least four days...

Even so he would only have the strength to go equal with them. Zong Shou had no idea how to counter them and beat them.

The Art of War mentioned that if one knew about themselves and the enemy, one would win all battles. He only knew their surface level strength was similar to Great Gan. However, he didn’t know what their exact power was.

To act carelessly would only result in defeat.

“Although it is terrifying, I do have ways to counter, but I just need four days. However, it is best if you can delay more time for me, a month, three months, even half a year...”

Zong Shou said that but even he found it amusing and preposterous. With the current situation, if the Saint Realm experts didn’t join in, they might not even survive for eight to nine days.

Zong Shou could only laugh bitterly, “Anyway, just try your best!”

“Half a year? I understand.”

Kong Yao seemed like she didn’t find it to be too difficult, “I roughly see that the longer the time delayed, the better it is for Great Gan. Are you prepared to wait for them to be in chaos themselves?”

If it was a few days ago, Great Gan could only choose to end things quick.

However, now that their problems were solved, Great Gan would pretty much get stronger each day.

The Cloud World had 17 states and along with the 76 worlds outside that were recruiting, they could get seven million troops in just half a year.

Yuanlian World was already crafting ships on a large scale. Cloud World had huge production, and in half a year, they could at least purchase 30 Taiyi God Lightning Ships.

On the contrary, the Dark World Demon Court didn’t have much excess strength because they fought wars so often.

Moreover, they had huge numbers. Even if they tried to reduce their strength, once the battle dragged out, it would definitely become unstable.

They looked strong but they could at most send 12-16 Jiedu Ministers over which was why the more they delayed the worse it was for the Dark World Demon Court. When they were in chaos would be the time where Great Gan struck for the win!

To wait from when one had no chance of winning till when one could win.

“As expected from Xiao Yao...”

Zong Shou’s eyes shone brightly with joy, “I had exactly the same plan. Looking at you, you seem really confident?”

Pique and Li Xin both stood up, looking towards Kong Yao in disbelief.

Not only them, but even Zong Yuan and the others looked over. They didn’t have weird expressions, but more of anticipation.

“How is that possible? I just came here, so how can I say that I am confident? As for the specifics, I still have to look around. However...”

Kong Yao’s eyes became cold, “Why don’t we remove all the houses in the world? The spiritual barrier is weak, so we can let them in. It is tough to spread out troops in the world, so we can counter them. Why bother to defend the world barrier?”

Li Xin kept silent while Lieque felt really embarrassed. It wasn’t that he didn’t know about what Kong Yao said. The houses did obstruct their arrangements, but after all, they had owners so he couldn’t just demolish them.

He also knew that it was pointless defending the world barrier. The Gan Army didn’t have many troops and couldn’t sustain such consumption. However, if the Dark World Demon Court army attacked, it would cause heavy losses to the merchants within the world.

“Great Gan will compensate them for their losses. However, if soldiers die because of that, then we can’t save them. If Tianfang World falls, the people are meat in their mouths. General Lie should understand that...”

Seeing through what Lieque thought, Kong Yao shook her head and didn’t say anything else.

She, Zong Yuan, and Ren Tianxing listened to Zong Shou’s orders. For the rise of Great Gan, they went all out and held nothing back.

Lieque was unable to do that. He defended this place for a few months and started to tangle with the powers within.

However, there was no need to scold him. He was indeed an unparalleled general and his experiences destined that he would be relatively more selfish and couldn’t truly be loyal to Great Gan.

“Also the 12 Copper Men...”

Kong Yao looked towards Zong Shou and her eyes lit up, “I heard from what Grand Teacher and Your Majesty mentioned that they are really afraid of it? Then, at least from today on, use the Copper Men to suppress the Tianfang World.”

Wei Xu, Yuanjing, and the others were tempted. Zong Shou frowned and a weird expression appeared in his eyes, “Yao’er, do you know the outcome of this?”

If he used it now, even if it was restricted to Tianfang World, after they suffer heavy losses they would definitely take revenge.

The first target of the needle would mostly probably be Kong Yao who was the commander.

His original plan was to delay the use of the puppet to a month later when Mingri Xuan crafted those ten talismans.

“How would I now know? Since they are afraid of it, then what do I have to fear?”

Kong Yao laughed, “If I die, then you would go all out to take revenge. How would they not know that theory? The more they are afraid, then all the more we shouldn’t back off. No matter what, we have to defend this bottom line. If not, they will only abuse us. You don’t seem like the Saint Ruler that was so decisive in the past...”

Zong Shou held his breath. He cared too much about their safety which was why he misjudged the situation.

Wei Xu and the others were impressed. Li Xin and Lieque were in deep thought and a look of respect appeared in their eyes.

Out of the two of them, the former was a famous general from 10,000 years ago with stellar war results. The latter had long been famous in the outer region. They actually didn’t care much regarding Kong Yao.

However, after the first meeting, she displayed such shocking talents. As expected, from her reputation...

“Also the Seven Life Destroying Life Protecting Talismans!”

Kong Yao paused and her tone suddenly became stronger, “Since I am the commander, then I should give out the talismans! Please allow me to do so...”

Zong Shou’s heart shook once more. Kong Yao was asking him for power, solving his tough decision too.

Lin Xuanjing burst out laughing, “I really believe that we will definitely defend Tianfang World. With such a talented general, Zong Shou will definitely win!”

Kong Yao’s face flushed red, but the hand that grabbed Zong Shou held even tighter.

Zong Shou knew what she meant. She wanted him to relax, that she wouldn’t let him down.

※※※※

Kong Yao was a decisive person and after impressing Lieque and Li Xin she started to take over the army.

In just an hour, they started to demolish the Tianfang World buildings. She didn’t care about the objections and pretty much removed all buildings.

Her actions were not only bold, but they helped to allocate troops and remove problems.

Great Gan occupied Tianfang World for less than a year and it was far from gaining the hearts of the people. The merchants all had complicated powers behind them and there were many who were interested in the Dark World Demon Court.

Once the situation was at a dangerous point, they might backstab which could have catastrophic consequences. Those buildings had small sized spiritual formations protecting, like a castle.

Kong Yao used the 12 Copper Men to threaten them, not only using the chance to wipe out the buildings, but she also helped to contain the entire Tianfang World. She forcefully recruited all the servant cultivators and now there were 6,000 Spirit Realm and Celestial Realm cultivators.

They couldn’t be used in an upfront war but to maintain the world protecting formation. They just needed to send people over to monitor, such that the Great Gan Army could free up more strength.

It caused the entire Tianfang World to become solemn and filled with killing intent.

At this moment, Zong Shou found Lin Xuanshuang. Apart from war matters, what he cared about was the Life and Death of Su Xiaoxiao.
